Abstract: A method for operating railbound vehicles includes transmitting driving information, between a first railbound vehicle and a second railbound vehicle, relating to the future driving operation of at least one of the two railbound vehicles, and coordinating the future driving operation of the two railbound vehicles on the basis of that driving information transmitted therebetween, in such a manner that braking energy fed back by the first railbound vehicle during a braking operation can be used at least partially by the second railbound vehicle.

Abstract: A method for the computer-aided automatic creation of timetables for transportation systems takes into account time limits, which are used in the framework of planification tools and online for the planning of timetables as a component of control systems. The invention broadens the method for creating timetables as described in WO 97/09218 (German patent application DE 195 33 127). The object of the invention is to ensure that in particular upper time limits are regarded as operational boundary conditions. A non-linear model of penalty costs is used to achieve this object.
